POE2 Rebuild trade system.

Hi GGG!

I would like the sales system to be rebuilt because Asians are listing items at undercut prices, ruining the game's economy and taking advantage of players' lack of awareness. A redesign of the current market and the implementation of something like an auction house in the game would be helpful. Something similar to what exists in World of Warcraft, Last Epoch, or New World, where the seller receives currency via mail or directly into a stash tab.

Yes, for the love of exiled gods. Please an an auction/trade system that doesn't require messaging and inviting people.
This is very frustrating when you want to buy something, but people don’t respond, and when they relist the same item at a higher price, they suddenly send a party invitation. As a buyer, I waste time on such people, who are usually from Russia or Asia.
Trades only happen if both parties accept the offer. Players are forced to hover over items before accepting. Is unfair trades are taking place it is the fault of the trader who feels they were taken advantage of, they did not have to accept the trade. Swap scams in ARPG's are at least as old as trade window are. Sure the trade interface can be revised, but you can't fix stupid or dishonesty on a major scale.

Second, people will usually ignore trade whispers if they get spammed instantly for an item or get spammed by many people. That happens because an item is under listed and they are free to correct the price. It's a great method to use the market to price check your item.

Wasting other peoples time because you don't know the value of stuff isn't a "great method" to price check. It's just laziness and ignorance and makes trading worse for everyone.
When selling, i block/ignore anyone with chinese or cryllic characters in their name.
RNM, i’m not sure if you understood the content of my post correctly. The point is that they list items at artificially low prices just to buy them back and then relist them at higher prices. When you see Russian Cyrillic in their nickname or Chinese characters, you can be sure that this person won’t respond to your trade offer. I, as well as other players, waste a lot of time because of this...

I've bought and sold plenty of items to/from playernames in cyrillic and chinese. I've had more issues with english speaking players tbh, probably just because there seems to be more of them or maybe they're just dumber on average idk.

What I mean is that they list items only to lower the prices; they don't actually want to sell them. If a system were introduced where you immediately buy an item by clicking "BUY," it wouldn't lead to such situations.
